First of all, let me say that while iBus does the same and can be installed fairly easy in both Mandriva 2011 and Mageia 2, the problem is that it ruins the keyboard accents in Spanish for those people who work in that language with LibreOffice. Therefore, SCIM is a better option.
I am running Firefox 19.0 at the moment, but this trick works with previous versions of the browser and future ones, too (Aurora and Nightly).
To activate Japanese IME (SCIM) in Mandriva 2011 or Mageia 2, the following packages are needed:
1. Japanese fonts (Use MCC to get them)
2. Scim (and all of its dependencies)
3. Canna (and its dependencies)
4. Anthy (and its dependencies)
5. UIM (make sure that the bridging packages are included)
Once all the packages are installed,open the terminal Konsole and use SU to log in as root with your password.
Then go to /etc/sysconfig by using
cd etc
cd sysconfig
once there, activate Kwrite by typying
export $ (dbus-launch)
The idea is to modify a file called i18n.
When Kwrite is functional, using the open icon, and locate the file i18n to open it. Once it is displayed, append the following lines to the end of the file and save it.
XIM_PROGRAM="scim -d"
Close the terminal and then go to usr/share/X11/xdm
Once there, open Konsole and type su and the system will ask you for your root password. Enter it and then type
export $ (dbus-launch)
then type kwrite (to start Kwrite and edit a file)
Once Kwrite appears, open the file Xsession with it. You have to append the following lines before the line that starts with exec
|SCIM working with Firefox in Mandriva 2011
export XMODIFIERS=@im=xim
export GTK_IM_MODULE=scim-bridge
export QT_IM_MODULE=xim
export XIM_PROGRAM="scim -d"
Save and log out and back in to your session. That's the end of the show. From now on, your browser will accept Japanese input for searches, or searches in other languages (Korean, Thai, etc) as long as you have the fonts for those languages installed.
The good thing about this method is that it also enabled SCIM for LibreOffice 4 (which is not in the official repositories of Mandriva/Mageia yet).

The shock absorber is the central element of the chassis and a safety-relevant component. If it is either defective or if a shock absorber is used that does not correspond with the way of riding, this can lead to nasty surprises. Shock absorbers that are too soft can break easily or give you the fright of your life in curves or at high speeds.
A brand new shock absorber isn't always necessary. If the shocks are still working perfectly well, replacing the shock absorber springs (that gradually wear out over the years) is sufficient. We stock springs for steering columns (for separate spring/shock systems) and for the original shock absorbers.
The standard PIAGGIO springs and other manufactures are equivalent to those that were originally fitted.
The Sport springs are stiffer and are suitable for riding with a pillion, touring or tuned scooters. The SIP springs are somewhere between the STO and the Standard springs. The STO springs are an especially good supplement to wide or largeframe models.
The springs are mostly phosphated, zinc plated, painted or chrome-plated.
Conclusion: Improves the suspension of the Sport version and is also easy on the wallet.
SIP-TIP: The 180mm spring gives the GS/GL/etc. models a more sporty look.

Hoff here.
The phrase goes "Beauty is only skin deep". Of course this came from of some whiny piss-ant guy who was bar-snubbed on a Saturday night by a drunk, hot-looking broad. It's always that way. It's always the guy who gets the cold shoulder. "Cold shoulder". That's a phrase your Grandpop used. It meant that someone wasn't going to get laid that night.
It is a whiny phrase... the Beauty-goes-skin-deep one, i mean. But it's basically true. Peel the skin back off anyone and what's underneath is universally pretty ugly stuff. Ok; there's some surgeons, EMTs, and psychopaths who might feel differently. But they're a different type of people. Especially the EMTs. Spooky.
Beauty does have it's shelf-life. But it's different from one person to another. Some lucky shits are just born gorgeous and stay that way (with a little help from time to time) until they are called to the beautiful beyond. Others are born average, spend their younger years gawky, uncoordinated and buck-toothed, finally blossoming into a fem fatale (i hate that stupid phrase; why did i even use it?). Like my Aunt Melinda. She was dynamite by the time i was old enough to notice, and i heard stories. And others are born ugly and unless they undergo major plastic surgery, carry the same cross until the end. Yeah. I was caught looking down Aunt Melinda's DD cleavage from up the balcony when i was 13, and my butt paid the price. But it was worth every strap-slap. She knew i was there; she was teasing me. I knew she knew it. But she was like that. Anyway, it was then i knew for sure that i wasn't gay. Not that there's anything wrong with that...
So. Where was i? Oh, right. It's just about here where i need to sadly acknowledge the fact that there are a huge amount of plain, and even less-than-plain, people who are infinitely more worthy of your attention and admiration. What these people lack in physical beauty they make up for in intelligence, compassion, thoughtfulness and a "great personality". I like the great-personality part. How many times have you heard that one. It's all true. Remember the Coasters' "If you want to be happy for the rest of your life, never make a pretty woman your wife..." before you decide to walk down the aisle with the prom queen.
What was i talking about. Oh yeah. "Beauty is only skin-deep". So who gives a shit. Physical beauty is overrated anyway. Consider this... The next time you see a hottie saunter by and you have the urge to embarrass yourself; consider whether pursuing her is worth the knuckle-sandwich her boyfriend, husband, lover, or pool-boy (or all of them) will deliver. My suggestion is: stick with your own kind. And if one of the "beautiful people" for some strange reason shows an interest, tell her that (name the current day) is your day off. But that she can call you tomorrow.

Iran Agrees to Nuclear Limits, But Key Issues Are Unresolved
Iran and European nations say they have reached an understanding about next steps, but key issues need to be resolved before a final agreement by June 30.
According to European officials, roughly 5,000 centrifuges will remain spinning enriched uranium at Natanz, about half the number currently running. The underground enrichment site at Fordo — which Israeli and some American officials fear is impervious to bombing — will be partly converted to advanced nuclear research and the production of medical isotopes.
A major reactor at Arak, which officials fear could produce plutonium, will operate on a limited basis that will not provide enough fuel for a bomb.
In return the European Union and the United States will begin to lift sanctions, as Iran complies.

U.S. and Allies Extend Iran Nuclear Talks by 7 Months
A yearlong effort to reach an enduring accord with Iran to dismantle large parts of its nuclear infrastructure fell short, forcing the United States and its allies to declare a seven-month extension, but with no clear indication of how they plan to bridge fundamental differences.

Negotiators Scrambling as Deadline Looms in Nuclear Talks
As six world powers and Iran race to meet a Monday deadline for an agreement that would constrain Iran's nuclear program, the United States stakes out an ambitious goal for what an accord should accomplish.
American officials say the agreement should slow the Iranian nuclear program enough that it would take Iran at least a year to make enough material for a nuclear bomb if it decided to ignore the accord.
It has become increasingly unlikely that any accord announced on Monday would be a complete one. And whatever deal is reached, it may not matter if Iranian hard-liners have their way. In Iran, the final decision on a nuclear deal lies with Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the supreme leader.

Role for Russia Gives Iran Talks a Possible Boost
Iran tentatively agrees to ship much of its huge stockpile of uranium to Russia for conversion into specialized fuel rods for the Bushehr nuclear power plant, Iran's only commercial reactor. The agreement is potentially a major breakthrough in talks that have until now been deadlocked.
A key question remains about the negotiations that American officials have been loath to discuss in public: In a final deal, would Iran be required to publicly admit its past activities, or merely provide a mechanism for monitoring its actions in the future?

Iran Altering Arak Reactor in Bid for Nuclear Deal
Atomic power engineers in Iran start redesigning a partly constructed reactor in Arak to limit the amount of plutonium it produces, Ali Akbar Salehi, the director of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, says, expressing hope that the change will help alleviate Western objections that the plutonium can be used in weapons.
Iran Nuclear Talks Extended, Diplomats Say
Iran, the United States and the five other countries agree to a four-month extension of the negotiations, giving them more time to try to bridge a major difference over whether the country will be forced to dismantle parts of its nuclear infrastructure, according to senior Western diplomats involved in the talks.

As the deadline for the talks approaches on Sunday, Iran's foreign minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, says the country could accept a freeze on its capacity to produce nuclear fuel at current levels for several years, provided it could eventually produce fuel unhindered.
The proposal will effectively extend a limited series of concessions Iran made last November as part of a temporary deal to get negotiations started on a permanent accord. In return, Iran wants step-by-step relief from sanctions that have substantially weakened its economy.
Iran Is Providing Information on Its Detonators, Report Says
The I.A.E.A. releases a report stating that Iran is beginning to turn over information related to its nuclear detonators. The agency says that Iran has provided "additional information and explanations," including documents, to substantiate its claim that it had tested the detonators for "a civilian application."

Negotiators Put Final Touches on Iran Accord
Iran and a group of six world powers complete a deal that will temporarily freeze much of Tehran's nuclear program starting Jan. 20, in exchange for limited relief from Western economic sanctions.
The agreement faced opposition from Iranian hard-liners and Israeli leaders, as well as heavy criticism from some American lawmakers, who have threatened to approve further sanctions despite President Obama's promise of a veto.

Deal With Iran Halts Nuclear Program
The United States and five other world powers announce a landmark accord that would temporarily freeze Iran's nuclear program and lay the foundation for a more sweeping agreement.
The aim of the accord, which is to last six months, is to give international negotiators time to pursue a more comprehensive accord that would ratchet back much of Iran's nuclear program and ensure that it could only be used for peaceful purposes.

President Obama makes an appeal to Congress to give breathing space to his efforts to forge a nuclear deal with Iran.
Iran is in a much different position now to negotiate on its nuclear program than it was four years ago when President Obama first broached the subject.
Iran Says It Agrees to 'Road Map' With U.N. on Nuclear Inspections
The I.A.E.A. says that Iran has agreed to resolve all outstanding issues with the agency, and will permit "managed access" by international inspectors to two key nuclear facilities. But the promise does not extend to the Parchin military site, which inspectors have been trying to see for months.
Marathon talks between major powers and Iran fail to ease sanctions on the country and produce a deal to freeze its nuclear program.
Iran Talks Called Substantive
Iran and a group of six world powers say that they have engaged in "substantive" and "forward-looking" discussions on the disputed Iranian nuclear program and that they will reconvene on November 7.
The account of the two days of talks in Geneva came in a rare joint statement from Iran's foreign minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, and Catherine Ashton, the foreign policy chief for the European Union, who is the lead negotiator with Iran.
First Direct US-Iran Talk Since 1979
President Obama says he has spoken by phone with President Hassan Rouhani, the first direct contact between the leaders of Iran and the United States since 1979. Mr. Obama, speaking in the White House briefing room, said the two leaders discussed Iran's nuclear program and said he was persuaded there was a basis for an agreement.
Moments before Mr. Obama's announcement, Mr. Rouhani's Twitter account posted this now-deleted message: "In a phone conversation b/w #Iranian & #US Presidents just now: @HassanRouhani: "Have a Nice Day!" @BarackObama: "Thank you. Khodahafez."
Rouhani, Blunt and Charming, Pitches a Moderate Iran in First U.N. Appearance
Iran's new president, Hassan Rouhani, turns himself into a high-speed salesman offering a flurry of speeches, tweets, televised interviews and carefully curated private meetings, intended to end Iran's economic isolation.
At the United Nations General Assembly, he preaches tolerance and understanding, decries as a form of violence the Western sanctions imposed on his country and says nuclear weapons have no place in its future. He takes aim at Israel's nuclear arsenal in a public – while the country's leaders caution over what they deem as an empty charm offensive.

Iran Said to Seek a Nuclear Accord to End Sanctions
Seizing on a perceived flexibility in a letter from President Obama to President Hassan Rouhani, Iran's leaders are focused on getting quick relief from crippling sanctions, a top adviser to the Iranian leadership says.
The adviser says that Mr. Obama's letter, delivered about three weeks ago, promised relief from sanctions if Tehran demonstrated a willingness to "cooperate with the international community, keep your commitments and remove ambiguities."
Iran Slows Its Gathering of Enriched Uranium, Report Says
I.A.E.A. inspectors say that Iran is slowing its accumulation of enriched uranium that can be quickly turned into fuel for an atomic bomb. The report's disclosure is significant politically because it delays the day when Iran could breach what Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel last fall called a "red line" beyond which Iran would not be allowed to pass — the point at which it has enough purified uranium to quickly make a single nuclear weapon.
Hassan Rouhani, a moderate, has been elected the next president of Iran.
Iran Elects New President
Voters overwhelmingly elect Hassan Rouhani, 64, a mild-mannered cleric who advocates greater personal freedoms and a more conciliatory approach to the world.
The diplomat sheik played a key role in Iran's voluntary suspension of uranium enrichment in 2004, which Western powers responded to by asking for more concessions from Iran.
Mr. Rouhani replaces his predecessors' foreign minister with Mohammad Javad Zarif, an American-educated diplomat known for his understanding of the West, and makes him responsible for negotiations over Iran's nuclear program. Mr. Rouhani also removes a hard-line nuclear scientists as head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organization, and replaces him with the former foreign minister, Ali Akbar Salehi. In September, Iran's longtime ambassador to the International Atomic Energy Agency will be replaced as well.
U.S. Adds to Its List of Sanctions Against Iran
The Obama administration escalates sanctions against Iran for the fourth time in a week, blacklisting what it describes as a global network of front companies controlled by Iran's top leaders, accusing them of hiding assets and generating billions of dollars worth of revenue to help Tehran evade sanctions.
The White House also accuses Ayatollah Ali Khamenei of personally directing an effort to bypass them.
The United States also blacklists Iranian petrochemical companies, its automotive industry and more than 50 Iranian officials, and threatens to sanction foreign banks that trade or hold Iran's national currency, the rial.
Iran Is Seen Advancing Nuclear Bid
The I.A.E.A. says Iran has made significant progress across the board in its nuclear program, while negotiations with the West dragged on this spring. But it said that it has not gone past the "red line" that Israel's leaders have declared could trigger military action.
In its last report before the Iranian elections next month, the agency also gives details that point to an emerging production strategy by the Iranians. One strategy involves speeding ahead with another potential route to a bomb: producing plutonium. The report indicates that Iran is making significant progress at its Arak complex, where it has built a heavy-water facility and is expected to have a reactor running by the end of next year.
U.S. Imposes Sanctions on Those Aiding Iran
The United States expands its roster of those violating Iran sanctions, blacklisting four Iranian companies and one individual suspected of helping the country enrich nuclear fuel. It also singles out two other companies, including a Venezuelan-Iranian bank, accused of helping Iran evade other Western-imposed prohibitions on oil sales and financial dealings.
The penalties came a day after the Senate introduced legislation that could effectively deny the Iran government access to an estimated $100 billion worth of its own money parked in overseas banks, a step that proponents said could significantly damage Iran's financial stability.
Fearing Price Increases, Iranians Hoard Goods
Iranians rush to supermarkets to buy cooking oil, red meat and other staples, stockpiling the goods over new fears of price spikes from a change in the official exchange rate that could severely reduce the already weakened purchasing power of the rial, the national currency.
Prices of staples are set to increase by as much as 60 percent because of the currency change.
Economists say the result is from a combination of severe Western sanctions and what many call the government's economic mismanagement.

U.S. Arms Deal With Israel and 2 Arab Nations Is Near
The Defense Department is expecting to finalize a $10 billion arms deal with Israel, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates next week that will provide missiles, warplanes and troop transports to help them counter any future threat from Iran.
Israeli Officials Stress Readiness for Lone Strike on Iran
In an interview with the BBC, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke of dealing with the Iranian nuclear threat, saying Israel has "different vulnerabilities and different capabilities" than the United States. "We have to make our own calculations, when we lose the capacity to defend ourselves by ourselves."
Israeli defense and military officials have been issuing explicit warnings this week that Israel was prepared and had the capability to carry out a lone military strike against Iran's nuclear facilities.
US Blacklists an Iranian and Businesses Over Violation of Sanctions
The United States blacklists an affluent Iranian business executive, Babak Morteza Zanjani, and what it describes as his multibillion-dollar money laundering network, accusing them of selling oil for Iran in violation of the Western economic sanctions imposed over Iran's disputed nuclear program.
On March 14, The Treasury Department, which administers the government's Iran sanctions, blacklisted a Greek shipping tycoon, Dimitris Cambis, over what it called his scheme to acquire a fleet of oil tankers on Iran's behalf and disguise their ownership to ship Iranian oil.

After Talks End, Iran Announces an Expansion of Nuclear Fuel Production
Iran's president announces an expansion of the country's uranium production and claims other atomic energy advances, striking a pugnacious tone in the aftermath of diplomatic talks thatended in an impasse with the big powers on April 6 in Kazakhstan.

Navy Deploying Laser Weapon Prototype Near Iran
The U.S. announces that the Navy will deploy a laser weapon prototype in the Persian Gulf, where Iranian fast-attack boats have harassed American warships and where the government in Tehran is building remotely piloted aircraft carrying surveillance pods and, someday potentially, rockets.
The laser will not be operational until next year. It has been shown in tests to disable patrol boats and blind or destroy surveillance drones.
President Obama traveled to Israel on March 20, in a symbolic two-day visit to the country, the first of his presidency.
Iran Nuclear Weapon to Take Year or More, Obama Says
President Obama tells an Israeli television station that his administration believes it would take Iran "over a year or so" to develop a nuclear weapon.
Mr. Obama's estimated timeline contrasts with Mr. Netanyahu's stated belief that Israel and its Western allies are likely to have to intervene by the spring or summer, when, he says, Iran's scientists will have enriched enough uranium to become a nuclear threat.
Defiant Mood at Talks
Iran meets with the United States, Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany in Kazakhstan, but talks end with no specific agreement over a proposal that would sharply constrain Iran's stockpile of the most dangerous enriched uranium, in return for a modest lifting of some sanctions.
The six powers also agreed that Iran could keep a small amount of 20 percent enriched uranium — which can be converted to bomb grade with modest additional processing — for use in a reactor to produce medical isotopes.
Iranian oil sales have been reduced by half as a result of the international pressure on the country, and restrictions on financial transactions and transportation have created many difficulties for its leaders.
New Deposits of Uranium
The state news agency IRNA quotes a report by the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, saying that it had found significant new deposits of raw uranium and identified sites for 16 more nuclear power stations.
Iran's raw uranium reserves now total around 4,400 tons, including discoveries over the past 18 months, IRNA quoted the report as saying.
A few weeks earlier, Ayatollah Khamenei said that his country was not seeking nuclear weapons but added that if Iran ever decided to build them, no "global power" could stop it.
Speaking to air force commanders in Tehran on Feb. 6, Ayatollah Khamenei said Iran "will not negotiate under pressure." Khamenei Official Web site, via European Pressphoto Agency
U.S. Bolsters Sanctions
A new round of American sanctions take effect which state that any country that buys Iranian oil must put the purchase money into a local bank account. Iran cannot repatriate the money and can use it only to buy goods within that country. Violators risk severe penalties in doing business with the United States. Oil exports from Iran have already dropped by a million barrels a day.
A week earlier, Iran announces that it would deploy a new generation of centrifuges, four to six times as powerful as the current generation.
Iran's Currency Tumbles
After months of harsh, American-led sanctions, Iran's currency, the rial, plunges 40 percent. The currency lost about half its value in 2012.
Most of that decline comes in a frenzy of speculative selling by Iranians worried that rapid inflation could render their money worthless. The government responds with a crackdown in which some money traders are arrested.
The depressed value of the rial forces Iranians to carry ever-fatter wads of bank notes to buy everyday items. But the sanctions also present a new complication to Iran's banking authorities: they may not be able to print enough money.
Meanwhile, the European Union toughens sanctions against Iran, banning trade in industries like finance, metals and natural gas, and making other business transactions far more cumbersome.

Israel's 'Red Line'
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel tells the United Nations that Iran's capability to enrich uranium must be stopped before the spring or early summer, arguing that by that time Iran will be in a position to make a short, perhaps undetectable, sprint to manufacture its first nuclear weapon.
New Work at Nuclear Site
The United Nations atomic agency reports that Iran has installed three-quarters of the nuclear centrifuges needed to complete a deep-underground site under a mountain near Qum for the production of nuclear fuel.
The I.A.E.A. also says that Iran may have sought to cleanse another site where the agency has said it suspects that the country has conducted explosive experiments that could be relevant to the production of a nuclear weapon.
Meanwhile, the United States imposes more punishing sanctions against Iran, aimed at its oil and petrochemical sectors, as well as its shipping trade, intensifying existing sanctions intended to choke off the revenue that Iran reaps from its two largest export industries.

Embargo on Iranian Oil
A European Union embargo on Iranian oil takes effect, playing a large role in severely restricting Iran's ability to sell its most important export.
In retaliation, Iran announces legislation intended to disrupt traffic in the Strait of Hormuz, a vital Persian Gulf shipping lane, and tests missiles in a desert drill clearly intended as a warning to Israel and the United States.
In January 2013, Iran's oil minister, Rostam Qasemi, acknowledged for the first time that petroleum exports and sales had fallen by at least 40 percent in the previous year, costing the country $4 billion to $8 billion each month.

Talks With West Falter
After a brief spurt of optimism, talks between Iran and six world powers on its disputed nuclear program fail to produce a breakthrough in Baghdad. The United States, Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany wanted a freeze on Iranian production of uranium enriched to 20 percent purity, which is considered a short step from bomb grade. The Iranians wanted an easing of the onerous economic sanctions imposed by the West and a recognition of what they call their right to enrich. The countries agree to meet again in June, but talks were further slowed after a new regimen of harsh economic sanctions and a statement from the International Atomic Energy Agency that said Iran had made "no progress" toward providing access to restricted sites it suspects of being used to test potential triggers for nuclear warheads.

Meanwhile, I.A.E.A. inspectors are still trying to gain access to the Parchin site, 20 miles south of Tehran, to ascertain whether tests have been carried out there on nuclear bomb triggers.
But satellites images show that the site has been extensively cleaned by the Iranians.

Iran asserts that its military downed the aircraft, but American officials say the drone was lost because of a malfunction.

Natanz Plant Recovers
After a dip in enriched uranium production in 2010 because of the cyberattacks, Iranian production recovers. While the United States and Israel never acknowledged responsibility for the cyberprogram, Olympic Games, some experts argue that it set the Iranians back a year or two. Others say that estimate overstates the effect.
With the program still running, intelligence agencies in the United States and Israel seek out new targets that could further slow Iran's progress.

West Expands Sanctions, and U.N. Offers Evidence on Nuclear Work
Major Western powers take significant steps to cut Iran off from the international financial system, announcing coordinated sanctions aimed at its central bank and commercial banks. The United States also imposes sanctions on companies involved in Iran's nuclear industry, as well as on its petrochemical and oil industries.
The United Nations atomic agency releases evidence that it says make a "credible" case that "Iran has carried out activities relevant to the development of a nuclear device" at its Parchin military base and that the project may still be under way.

Bombings Strike Scientists in Iran
Unidentified attackers riding motorcycles bomb two of Iran's top nuclear scientists, killing one and prompting accusations that the United States and Israel are again trying to disrupt Iran's nuclear program.
The scientist who was killed, Majid Shahriari, reportedly managed a "major project" for the country's Atomic Energy Organization. His wounded colleague, Fereydoon Abbasi, is believed to be even more important; he is on the United Nations Security Council's sanctions list for ties to the Iranian nuclear effort.

Iranian Scientist Defects to U.S., Then Reconsiders
Shahram Amiri, an Iranian nuclear scientist who American officials say defected to the United States in 2009, provided information about Iran's nuclear weapons program and then developed second thoughts, returning to Iran. (After a hero's welcome, he was imprisoned on treason charges and tortured, according to reports from Iran.)
The bizarre episode was the latest in a tale that has featured a mysterious disappearance from a hotel room in Saudi Arabia, rumors of a trove of new intelligence about Iran's nuclear plants and a series of contradictory YouTube videos. It immediately set off a renewed propaganda war between Iran and the United States.

U.N. Approves New Sanctions
The United Nations Security Council levels its fourth round of sanctions against Iran's nuclear program. The sanctions curtail military purchases, trade and financial transactions carried out by the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, which controls the nuclear program.
The Security Council also requires countries to inspect ships or planes headed to or from Iran if they suspect banned cargo. In addition, Iran is barred from investing in other countries' nuclear enrichment plants, uranium mines and related technologies, and the Security Council sets up a committee to monitor enforcement.
Computer Worms Leak Online; 1,000 Centrifuges Destroyed
The United States and Israel realize that copies of the computer sabotage program introduced in Natanz are available on the Internet, where they are replicating quickly. In a few weeks, articles appear in the news media about a mysterious new computer worm carried on USB keys that exploits a hole in the Windows operating system. The worm is named Stuxnet.
President Obama decides not to kill the program, and a subsequent attack takes out nearly 1,000 Iranian centrifuges, nearly a fifth of those operating.

The United Nations' nuclear inspectors declare for the first time that they have extensive evidence of "past or current undisclosed activities" by Iran's military to develop a nuclear warhead.
The report also concludes that some Iranian weapons-related activity apparently continued "beyond 2004," contradicting an American intelligence assessment published in 2008 that concluded that work on a bomb was suspended at the end of 2003.

Warning on Nuclear 'Deception'
American, British and French officials declassify some of their most closely held intelligence and describe a multiyear Iranian effort, tracked by spies and satellites, to build a secret uranium enrichment plant deep inside a mountain.
The new plant, which Iran strongly denies is intended to be kept secret or used for making weapons, is months from completion and does nothing to shorten intelligence estimates of how long it would take Iran to produce a bomb. American intelligence officials say it will take at least a year, perhaps five, for Iran to develop the full ability to make a nuclear weapon.
U.S. Joins Regular Iran Talks

Talks End in Deadlock
International talks on Iran's nuclear ambitions end in deadlock despite the Bush administration's decision to reverse policy and send William J. Burns, a senior American official, to the table for the first time.
Iran responds with a written document that fails to address the main issue: international demands that it stop enriching uranium. Iranian diplomats reiterate before the talks that they consider the issue nonnegotiable.
U.S. – Israel Cyberattacks Begin
President George W. Bush rejects a secret request by Israel for specialized bunker-busting bombs it wants for an attack on Iran's nuclear program. The Bush administration is alarmed by the Israeli idea to fly over Iraq to reach Iran's major nuclear complex at Natanz and decides to step up intelligence-sharing with Israel and brief Israeli officials on new American efforts to subtly sabotage Iran's nuclear infrastructure. Mr. Bush will hand off the major covert program to President Obama.
The United States works with Israel to begin cyberattacks, code-named Olympic Games, on computer systems at the Natanz plant. A year later, the program is introduced undetected into a controller computer at Natanz. Centrifuges begin crashing and engineers have no clue that the plant is under attack.
First Round of U.N. Sanctions
The Security Council unanimously approves sanctions intended to curb Iran's nuclear program. The sanctions ban the import and export of materials and technology used in uranium enrichment and reprocessing and in the production of ballistic missiles.

Iran Opens a Heavy-Water Reactor
Just days before Iran is supposed to suspend enrichment of uranium or face the prospect of sanctions, President Ahmadinejad formally kicks off a heavy-water production plant in Arak, 120 miles southwest of Tehran, which would put Iran on the path to obtaining plutonium, a fuel used in nuclear weapons.
In November, Iran seeks international assistance to ensure safe operation for a 40-megawatt reactor it is building. Citing broader doubts about Iran's nuclear ambitions, the United Nations atomic agency, the United States and European countries oppose offering help.

Ahmadinejad Elected President
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, known only as a secular conservative and a former mayor of Tehran, becomes president. He becomes a divisive figure in world affairs, cheering on the development of Iran's nuclear program despite orders from the United Nations Security Council to halt it, calling for Israel to be "wiped off the map'' and describing the Holocaust as "a myth."
With Laptop Files, U.S. Seeks to Prove Iran's Nuclear Aims
Senior American intelligence officials present the International Atomic Energy Agency with the contents of what they say is a stolen Iranian laptop containing more than a thousand pages of Iranian computer simulations and accounts of experiments — studies for crucial features of a nuclear warhead.
Intelligence reports reveal that Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, a little-known Iranian scientist, leads elements of Iran's weaponization program known as Project 110 and Project 111.
But doubts about the intelligence persist among some experts, in part because American officials, citing the need to protect their source, have largely refused to provide details of the origins of the laptop beyond saying that they obtained it in mid-2004 from a source in Iran who they said had received it from a second person, now believed to be dead.

Violation and New Agreement
Iran violates the agreement, charging that the Europeans reneged on their promises of economic and political incentives. After 22 hours of negotiations, an Iranian delegation and senior officials from France, Germany, Britain and the European Union come to a preliminary agreement to immediately suspend Iran's production of enriched uranium. The Iranian foreign minister, Kamal Kharrazi, praises the so-called Paris Agreement but emphasizes that any suspension will be temporary.
In a few weeks, the I.A.E.A verifies Iran's suspension of its enrichment activities, with one exception: its request to use up to 20 sets of centrifuge components for research and development.

Nuclear Program Is Suspended
Possibly in response to the American invasion of Iraq, which was originally justified by the Bush administration on the grounds that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, Ayatollah Khamenei orders a suspension of work on what appear to be weapons-related technologies, although he allows uranium enrichment efforts to continue.
Inspectors with the United Nations atomic agency find traces of highly enriched uranium at the Natanz plant, and Iran concedes to demands, after talks with Britain, France and Germany, to accept stricter international inspections of its nuclear sites and to suspend production of enriched uranium.
Discovery of Secret Plants
Mujahedeen Khalq, an Iranian dissident group also known as the M.E.K., obtains and shares documents revealing a clandestine nuclear program previously unknown to the United Nations.
The program includes a vast uranium enrichment plant at Natanz and a heavy water plant at Arak. In December, satellite photographs of Natanz and Arak appear widely in the news media. The United States accuses Tehran of an "across-the-board pursuit of weapons of mass destruction," but takes relatively little action because it is focused on the approaching invasion of Iraq the next year.
Iran agrees to inspections by the I.A.E.A. It also signs an accord with Russia to speed up completion of the nuclear power plant at Bushehr.

In 2005, the United Nations' International Atomic Energy Agency is on the verge of reviewing Tehran's nuclear program when Iranian officials admit to a 1987 meetingwith Dr. Khan's representatives. But Tehran tells the agency that it turned down the chance to buy the equipment required to build the core of a bomb.

Nuclear Program Restarts
The Iran-Iraq war, from 1980 to 1988, changes Iran's thinking about the nuclear program. With Saddam Hussein pursuing a nuclear program in Iraq, Ayatollah Khomeini secretly decides to restart Iran's program and seeks the assistance of German partners to complete the construction at Bushehr, which was damaged by bombs during the war.

Shah Flees
The shah is overthrown and flees the country, in what becomes known as the Islamic Revolution of 1979.
Prime Minister Shahpur Bakhtiar takes over and cancels the $6.2 billion contract for the construction of two nuclear power plants at the Bushehr complex.
The United States retracts a deal it had made with Iran a year earlier and stops supplying enriched uranium for the Tehran research reactor.

Creation of Atomic Energy Body
The shah creates the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, which conducts training for its personnel and nuclear deals with countries including the United States, France, West Germany, Namibia and South Africa. By training engineers in Iran and abroad, the country gains a solid understanding of nuclear technologies and capabilities.
A year later, Kraftwerk Union, a West German company, agrees to construct two light water reactors to produce nuclear energy at the Bushehr complex, 470 miles south of Tehran. Construction begins in 1974 but the contract is not signed until 1976.
By the late 1970s, the United States becomes worried that Iran may harbor nuclear weapon ambitions.
Iran Signs Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty
With the American-provided research reactor running, starting in 1967, Iran becomes one of 51 nations to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, agreeing to never become a nuclear-weapon state.
Nuclear Program Begins
Iran begins a civilian nuclear program in the 1950s, led by Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi, who reaches a deal through the Eisenhower administration's Atoms for Peace program. Under the agreement, the United States agrees to provide a nuclear research reactor in Tehran and power plants.

By Default when TeamSpeak is first started it starts with all the defaults. Most users like to have the extra security and features that are possible with TeamSpeak 3. These are possibly by using a customized configuration file.
First as always we need to update everything and install the packages we'll be using in this guide. Just use the following command to update your server and install nano (a text editor)For Centos:
For Ubuntu:
yum -y update && yum -y install nano
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && apt-get install nano
To use the INI file you would simply make a file called
ts3server.ini that is owned by TeamSpeak 3 user in your TeamSpeak 3 server directory and fill it with the INI information. You can do that with the following commands:
touch /home/ts3/teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64/ts3server.ini
chown ts3:ts3 /home/ts3/teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64/ts3server.ini
nano /home/ts3/teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64/ts3server.ini
Below is a good example of an INI file that is generated.
You would have to replace the IPv4 address of 192.168.1.0 to be the dedicated IPv4 address that you were given when you purchased and replace the IPv6 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1 with the IPv6 address you also received when you purchased. Please note that IPv6 is only supported in TeamSpeak 3.0.13 and later and that IP addresses must be separated by a comma (,)
What each item in the INI represents.
- machine_id=
- The ID of the server if in a group. You should leave this blank
- default_voice_port=9987
- When a new virtual server is made on the installation what is the starting port. This tells the server what the starting port is meaning that the first virtual server will be set up on port 9987 and the next one 9988 and then 9989 and so on. Please note that our DDoS protection only allows for 9987 through so if you want additional ports opened for additional servers you can do that with the DDoS customization addon.
- voice_ip=192.168.1.0,0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1
- This is a list of the IP addresses that TeamSpeak will listen on. This is useful if you want TeamSpeak to only listen on 1 IP instead of all IP addresses.
- licensepath=
- This is the path to your license file. By default it is the same directory as your TeamSpeak 3 server so you should leave this blank and if you have a TeamSpeak 3 license place it in your server directory.
- filetransfer_port=30033
- When your users upload and download files using the filebrowser functions of TeamSpeak this is the port that it will communicate on. You can change this port for a slight security boost against automated bots, but human users can still find the port easily.
- filetransfer_ip=192.168.1.0,0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1
- This is a list of the IP addresses that TeamSpeak will listen on for file transfers. This is useful if you want TeamSpeak to only listen on 1 IP for file transfers instead of all IP addresses. Having an IP for file transfers, one for query and one for voice can help security wise and improve the narrowing issues with one IP or another.
- query_port=10011
- The query port is the most sought after by bots and other malicious scripts. Changing this port to something besides 10011 has some major security benefits since almost all automated hacking machines will quit when 10011 isn't responding. You'll see a lot less attempts to hack your query with a different port.
- query_ip=192.168.1.0,0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1
- Just like above, this is a list of the IP addresses that TeamSpeak will listen on for server query. This is useful if you want TeamSpeak to only listen on 1 IP for queries instead of all IP addresses. Having an IP for file transfers, one for query and one for voice can help security wise and improve the narrowing issues with one IP or another.
- query_ip_whitelist=query_ip_whitelist.txt
- This tells the server where the file is for your whitelist. A list of IP addresses that have unrestricted access to the server. WARNING: DO NOT add any IP addresses that you don't explicitly trust since it is giving that IP unrestricted access to the server.
- query_ip_blacklist=query_ip_blacklist.txt
- The file location for your blacklist a place where no matter what that IP can't connect to server query even after a server restart.
- dbplugin=ts3db_sqlite3
- These are options for the TeamSpeak 3 database. We highly suggest you just leave these as they are. It is possible to use MYSQL for your TeamSpeak 3 database but it takes additional resources with minimal benefit. The default is much better in almost every way.
- logpath=logs
- The location of the folder where you want all of the log files to be written. By default it places them in the logs directory inside of your server installation directory.
- logquerycommands=0
- If you change this to 1 it will log every query command that is sent to the server. This can help if you are running into issues with your server but should only be enabled temporarily as it will take up a massive amount of space in your logs so it should be set to 0 most of the time.
- dbclientkeepdays=90
- This is the amount of days that the server will keep user's unused identities. If you have added someone to a group they won't be pruned but guests will be.
- logappend=1
- When this is set to 0 Every time that your server restarts it will create a new logfile. After a long time it can result in hundreds of files that you have to sort through and it gets quite annoying. If you set this to 1 then it will add all new log entries into the same file we suggest leaving it as 1 since it will make your life easier when looking at logs.
Please note that when listing your dedicated IP addresses in the INI file you should always have at least an IPv4 address to make sure there is maximum compatibility. The same can be said for IPv6 since more and more Internet Service providers are using just IPv6. We would suggest for maximum performance and capability that there is at least 1 IPv4 and 1 IPv6 in each IP field.
How to start your server using your INI file
Starting your server with the ini script is pretty straight forward depending on how you want to start it. There are two choices.
Edit the ts3server_startscript.sh and replace the COMMANDLINE_PARAMETERS="${2}" line with COMMANDLINE_PARAMETERS="inifile=ts3server.ini" save and then run the following commands
su ts3
./ts3server_startscript.sh start
su ts3
./ts3server_minimal_runscript.sh inifile=ts3server.ini &
Then press ctrl+c to get back to the command line

Ohio State defensive lineman Tracy Sprinkle was arrested Friday night after allegedly being involved in a giant bar fight in Ohio.
Sprinkle was charged with rioting and failure to disperse as well as cocaine possession—we'll get to that part—at the Grown & Sexy Lounge in Lorain.
According to the police report, officers responded to the lounge at approximately 2 a.m. Saturday to find dozens of people outside, with some of them fighting. There was more going on inside the establishment. From the police report, via Buckeye Xtra:
"In addition to the fights that were currently happening in the east and west parking lot, I had a clear vision inside the bar and could see absolute mayhem going on inside," an officer wrote. "A large amount of people could be seen fighting inside with chairs being thrown."
A pool table had been flipped over, overhead lights destroyed, tables and chairs broken, and glass bottles had been thrown.
The officer requested all available units respond, and unleashed a police dog on the crowd "to assist with crowd control."
As one group would disperse, another would form to fight some more, the officer wrote.
The officer repeatedly came across a shirtless, blood-faced man, identified as Wayne Blue, 23, who was yelling at Sprinkle.
"It was clear that the two of them had been fighting," the report said. Both men were being held back from fighting by friends.
Officers arrested Blue for not following orders, and ordered Sprinkle to leave. His friends said they would see to it. "We got him," they said, as they pushed him toward a car.
However, Sprinkle became engaged in another scuffle, and was arrested.
The unconscious female was being treated by an ambulance crew. She told police she was hit with a chair during the the fight, and pushed into a wall, despite having no part of the fight. She didn't know who threw the chair.
Blue told police that Sprinkle had struck him in the face with a bottle, cutting his lip. He was taken to Mercy Hospital. Sprinkle denied involvement in the fight.
After Sprinkle was taken out of the patrol car, police found two small bags of cocaine stuffed into the backseat. According to the report, an officer had checked the seat before putting Sprinkle in there and found nothing, so Sprinkle was charged with cocaine possession.
Ohio State coach Urban Meyer said today that Sprinkle would be suspended indefinitely.

I bought this the other day and I can't stop playing. It is REALLY good. I remember the original game back in the day but I could never beat it. This is a lot easier, but still tons of fun. I'm playing on 3DS for the crisp 240p and d-pad controls, but it's also available on Switch.
I've played about 6 hours, probably nearing the end.

COLUMBUS, Ohio - In a game that both the Columbus Crew and New England Revolution needed to win to keep pace with the Eastern Conference playoff contenders, neither team could muster a single goal in front of 19,323 fans in Columbus Crew Stadium until a stoppage time winner from Jose Goncalves earned the win for New England. Diego Fagundez added insult to injury with a second stoppage time goal moments later.
Goncalves stepped up from his defensive position for a corner kick. Lee Nguyen found him on the back post, where he headed it into the goal for the lead in the first minute of stoppage time. Three minutes later, the Crew turned it over in their defensive third and Nguyen slid a pass to Fagundez, who then sealed the win for the Revs.
New England came into the match tied for fewest goals allowed this season, and the Revolution defense did not disappoint. Columbus, meanwhile, was shut out for the fifth time in 2013.
The Crew (6-9-5) were once again without Jairo Arrieta, who has been on international duty with Costa Rica during its CONCACAF Gold Cup run for most of July, and stalwarts Eddie Gaven and Glauber, both lost for the season with ACL tears, but got a boost from the return of goalkeeper Andy Gruenebaum, who suffered a shoulder injury in the team's July 4 loss to the LA Galaxy. Other than Gruenebaum, the team's starting lineup matched that of the team's last league match, a victory over the Portland Timbers.
The New England (7-7-6) lineup saw no such consistency, as the team's mid-week match against the Colorado Rapids necessitated six changes from the team that suffered a 2-1 loss in Colorado. Among the fresh faces were Dimitry Imbongo, Clyde Simms and A.J. Soares, none of whom had seen a start in over a month.
In a match that, for 90 minutes, seemed to be a story of missed opportunities, New England's Chris Tierney stood out among the rest. In the 23rd minute, the midfielder found himself with a wide open chance on goal from an Imbongo cross, but could not hit the frame, serving as a microcosm of a sloppy, wasteful play of most of the match.
The majority of the second half played out similarly. Midway through the half, both teams seemed content to finish the evening with a point, and neither showed any ability or desire to put men in the opposing box. Though odd chances for the likes of Dominic Oduro, who soared a point-blank attempt high of goal in the 70th minute, or Fagundez, who hit a 75th minute shot directly at Gruenebaum, provided even more opportunities, neither team seemed able to find a goal until the stoppage time stunners from New England.
The result brought New England within four points of the Houston Dynamo for the last Eastern Conference playoff spot, while the Crew remain six points behind the Dynamo, who have a game in hand.
Columbus plays the second of five straight Eastern Conference matches next Saturday against Trillium Cup foes Toronto FC, while New England will look to avenge a 3-1 loss against D.C. United in the nation's capitol next Saturday.

Our HHS colleagues at the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) recently launched a new page on their website devoted to behavioral health and HIV/AIDS.
SAMHSA is dedicated to promoting wellness and reducing the impact of mental and substance use disorders on America's communities and is among the Federal partners collaborating to implement the National HIV/AIDS Strategy (NHAS).
The new page highlights SAMHSA's work to ensure that individuals who are at high risk for or have a mental and/or substance use disorder and who are most at risk for or are living with HIV/AIDS have access to and receive appropriate behavioral health services (including prevention and treatment), HIV/AIDS care and medical treatment. The page also features training and technical assistance as well as grants and other information resources available from SAMHSA.
We know that substance use is associated with a greater likelihood of acquiring HIV infection (read more about how HIV infection and drug use are related on AIDS.gov's Drug Use page). Further, it is estimated that up to 50 percent of people with HIV have a mental illness such as depression, and 13 percent have both mental illness and substance abuse issues (read more about mental health and HIV).
The NHAS calls for, among other things, coupling HIV screening and other comprehensive HIV prevention services with substance treatment programs and promoting collaboration among HIV medical care providers and agencies providing HIV counseling and testing services, mental health treatment, substance abuse treatment, housing and supportive services to link people with HIV to care. As these efforts unfold to help achieve the Strategy's goals, the information available on the new page may be useful to you or your colleagues.
Miguel Gomez is the AIDS.gov director.

BEREA, Ohio -- No. 22 overall pick Quinn is the only unsigned Brown, rookie or otherwise.
The buzz is back, sans Brady Quinn. After an anxious period when their top three draft picks were unsigned and therefore unable to participate in rookie sessions this week, the Cleveland Browns persuaded No. 3 overall draft pick Joe Thomas and second-round pick Eric Wright to agree to basic contract terms. If both sign before 3:30 p.m. today, as sources said they probably would, they will be eligible for the first full-squad practice of training camp, scheduled for 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. That leaves No. 22 overall pick Quinn as the only unsigned Brown, rookie or otherwise. Getting Thomas in this early is huge. The team entered the offseason desperate to upgrade its offensive line, and he now projects as this year's starting left tackle. That would move Kevin Shaffer into a competition with Ryan Tucker at right tackle, with Tucker seen as more able than Shaffer to slide to right guard. Avoiding a holdout with Wright is nearly as big. The Browns were injury-ravaged at cornerback in 2006, and Wright comes in as the best combination of size and athleticism among corners in camp. Indications are getting Quinn under contract may not take longer than the weekend. Quinn wants to be paid better than his draft position, but the Browns have leverage because he is behind Charlie Frye and Derek Anderson, both of whom have made NFL starts, on the in-house depth chart. Quinn could move up the chart but not if he holds out for more than a few days. Meanwhile, the Browns figure to open camp with a PUP list as imposing as Clifford the giant red dog. The list, short for physically unable to perform, figures to include: - Tight end Kellen Winslow Jr., the team's top draft pick in 2004. - Cornerback Gary Baxter, the centerpiece of the 2005 free agency class. - Center LeCharles Bentley, the marquee man among 2006 free agents. All three are recovering from injuries. The list is a formality to the extent players can be removed from it at any time.

> It was reported today that Ryan Dempster is interested in being a Brewer in 2013. And, as the Brewers have implied over the past few weeks, the Brewers are interested in him.
Only one issue: the amount of time Dempster would be spending in Milwaukee.
Doug Melvin has shown his reluctance to give out three-year deals this offseason- particularly to pitchers. And you can't blame him after seeing how the multi-year deals given to Jeff Suppan, David Riske, and Randy Wolf all ended. While I have a tough time imagining Dempster would turn out as badly as any of those names, there always a chance, especially since Dempster is already 35- older than any of the guys I just listed when they signed.
And that's the thing: Dempster has made it known that he's looking for a three-year deal. Unfortunately for the Brewers, the only other known team to be seriously considering Dempster- the Red Sox- is probably willing to give him those three years (the Sox have already given three-year deals to Mike Napoli and Shane Victorino this offseason).
My solution to this issue for the Brewers would be to give Dempster two guaranteed years, then maybe a club or vesting option for the third year. I wish things worked that easily, but I can see where Dempster wouldn't take that as full commitment from the Brewers.
> Melvin also hinted that the Brewers have offers on the table to Sean Burnett and Jason Grilli. The Brewer Nation later confirmed that those offers do exist: Grilli's offer is worth $1.1 million for one year, while Burnett's is $2.3 million for two.
> For some reason, the Brewers tried talking to the Mets about R.A. Dickey. But, as you'd expect, those talks didn't get anywhere. The Mets asking price for the reigning NL Cy Young Award winner is insanely high, and the Brewers simply don't have the prospects to give in return.
> Brett Myers' name has also popped up in Brewers rumors. If he were willing to be a reliever, I'd take him. But as a starter? He can go rot with Twins, for all I care.
> The Brewers have kicked around lefties Tom Gorzelanny and John Lannan as potential relief options. Gorzelanny has previous starting experience, but has pitched in relief over the past few years for the Nationals. Lannan, on the other hand, has been a starter basically his entire career, and I have to imagine he'd like to continue starting.
> Just a few other random notes from an interview with Ron Roenicke today: Mat Gamel is progressing well in recovering from his knee injury, Jim Henderson could be the setup man, and RRR is debating whether to bat Norichika Aoki or Rickie Weeks leadoff.
> Minor moves:
Rockies: Acquired Wilton Lopez from the Astros.
Rays: Re-signed Sean Rodriguez to a one-year deal; acquired Yunel Escobar from the Marlins.
Nationals: Signed Dan Haren to a one-year deal.
Red Sox: Signed Victorino to a three-year deal.
Diamondbacks: Signed Eric Hinske to a one-year deal.
Athletics: Signed Kyle Newby, Luke Montz, Justin Thomas, Garrett Olson, Scott Moore, Darwin Perez, and Mike Ekstrom to minor league deals.
Marlins: Acquired Derek Dietrich from the Rays.
Giants: Re-signed Marco Scutaro to a three-year deal.

Sony is one of the world's leading and most familiar audio, video, telecommunications and information technology companies; its products include TVs, video recorders, CD and DVD players plus products such as camcorders and games consoles.
Sony's decision to site its European base at Potsdamer Platz was an important milestone for Berlin, underlining its role as the interface between East and West. The product of an American-based architect, a European main contractor and a Japanese investor, the Sony Center is more than just a building. It is a meeting point for commerce and service providers, a springboard for culture and communication.
The Situation
The Sony Center, designed by the renowned architect Helmut Jahn, is a major European construction project. It sets new standards with its innovative architecture (particularly striking is the gigantic umbrella-roof) its high-quality technical installations and its sheer size. Doubling up as an office building, flats and a culture and communication centre, the construction demanded a complex infrastructure of high-quality long-lasting products. Due to the flexibility required with respect to the different uses of the building, all installations were also required to incorporate high power reserves.
The Grundfos Solution
The Sony Center has installed 261 Grundfos UPE and UPS-series heating circulatory pumps and 33 in-line pumps from the CDM, LMD, LPED and TPE series for the air conditioning and refrigeration systems. Most of the motors are speed-controlled.
Imtech Deutschland GmbH (formerly Rud. Otto Meyer), one of the largest installers of technical building services in Germany, was responsible as the main contractor for the entire building services installation. The short construction period was a challenge for all technical systems and installations had to be carried out practically simultaneously in the different buildings. Above all this required optimum project control -any delay would have had costly consequences. Reliable suppliers were essential: "The work carried out by Grundfos met with our expectations and the project progressed without a hitch," confirms Uwe Merkel from Imtech in Berlin. The Sony Center project developer, Tishman Speyer Properties, had already had a similarly positive experience with Grundfos on the Main-Tower project in Frankfurt/M.
The Outcome
Due to the short construction time, the delivery of all products was strictly controlled -this required an equivalent level of organisation at Grundfos. Grundfos also provided consultants throughout the entire project, from the offer phase to development and commissioning.
Because of the importance of the project, Imtech was particularly concerned about the reliability of the pumps installed. The planners also required plenty of upwards leeway in terms of pump power reserves. This was to accommodate the subsequent changes of use of parts of the Sony Center. Grundfos was able to supply all the required units and deliver on time. The predominantly variable-speed models offer the operator additional flexibility while optimising operating costs -in a project of this size, electrical power consumption on the part of the pumps is an important factor.
